In October 2011, Lynnette C said about The Afton Hotel
I would like to say that 48 of us from the Ex-Servicemens Club Thetford stayed here for 2 days & 3 nights and I couldn't fault it, the food was great, the rooms were clean and tidy and very comfortable, The staff were very attentive and we didn't have to wait for anything. When we went down for our meals we were served straight away and it came out piping hot. This was our first trip to Eastbourne and I think if we went there again we would use this hotel.When we got to the hotel there was scaffolding up but that didn't detract from the great service we recieved.

Another successful weekend for the "Old Boys" and their partners. We have for several years now been lucky enough to spend two weekends each year at The Afton, which really speaks for itself. Friendly staff, good location, clean warm rooms, good entertainment Friday and Saturday,very accommodating regarding bar opening or should I say closing, which when friends get together for a "chat" is very useful. Food very adequate and even late night sandwiches ordered arrived at 10.30 were supurb, all in all excellent value. We can't thank them enough for yet another great weekend from all 19 of us.

We used the hotel's function room to host a 'Strictly come dancing' evening for our members and thier partners. It was a fun evening made even more enjoyable by the wonderful service that we received from the hotel. The Afton Hotel team made everyone feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all for making our evening a success.

Booked with Dunwoods Coaches. Only one problem was regulating heat of shower which management helped with. Otherwise lovely and clean, good food, pleasant staff who were kind and very helpful to me. Would definitely recommend, I’m looking to book again.

Stayed for 1 night with my 15 year old daughters. Although only a 2 star hotel I thought it was perfectly fine for a night or 2. Our room was a good size family room, clean, comfortable beds and bathroom fine for what we needed. All I would say is if you want peace and quiet its probably not for you. Not hotels fault but our room was facing the busy street, even with windows shut it was noisy through the night. Who knew seagulls were up all night?! Only other issue is parking. Again not hotels fault but just giving a heads up. They give you a £1 parking permit for day, overnight till 11am, very good BUT Eastbourne is very busy in August and you have to find a space. We drove for over half an hour trying to find one, only then I managed to squeeze into a small space. Hopefully you'll have better luck!

The Afton is a stones throw from the pier ( which in its self is excellent ) ,our room was facing the pier and the sea , it had a comfortable bed, en-suite shower room and a decent size t.v. Breakfast was faultless, i only had toast but my Wife had scrambled egg on toast which she said was lovely, the Full English Breakfasts that came out looked very appetising and the service very good. Highly recommend this esablishment.

This hotel overall is not a bad choice for a short break in Eastbourne.
On a positive note it is perfectly located opposite the pier ,adjacent to the sea front.
It also has its own bar with plenty of seating space.
The room was quite small but clean and comfortable.
However, as others have mentioned , the walls are paper thin.
You can hear everything going on in neighbouring rooms , every word of phone conversations.
The other issue is the water pressure, basically there is hardly any.
The water from the sink is literally a trickle from the hot tap and the shower only a little better.

This hotel gives good value for money stayed in eastbourne roughly the same time in 2018 at a seafront hotel the price difference enormous the afton £500 for a seaview room for 7 days as against over £700 for the so called 3 star hotel. No comparison ell done Afton you may need a bit of a face lift but your service superb. We look forward to next year.

We had a very nice room with seaview. Just a very short walk to the Pier. The staff was very friendly. If you are coming by car, you can by a parking ticket ( 1 £ a day) and you can park near the hotel. Nice pubs are nearby.

My family stayed at the Afton on the 28th September.for one night. We booked 2 rooms months before our stay for £114. The Hotel is opposite the pier and just off the sea front. When we arrived we were offered a parking permit for our stay for just £1 which allows you to park in the street on designated bays. We managed to park on the sea front near the hotel. The staff are very polite and helpful The rooms were comfortable with plenty of storage space. The breakfast in the morning cost £7 and is well worth it, after a good all English I asked for toast and it was serves in minutes. I would definitely stay here again.
